20mm Test Figures

Hi,

well last night I tried to paint 20mm again. My aging eyes are booked in for an eye test so these were painted under a handy table standing magnifying glass! Very steampunk...I want a Victorian looking one!

I have lowered my expectations of 20 mil, this compromise will allow me to actually get a game in now and then. Now I just need a supplier of resin vehicles in 20mm based in the UK, any ideas? I have seen these chaps online but worryingly there are no prices!

The model of a car with figures shooting from it is an amazing piece of art...a middle eastern drive by!

I apologise for the dullness of the pictures but they were taken in a rush, it is going to be pretty easy to assemble forces in this scale if the right vehicles can be found...I prefer not to do kits.

I like the guy with the pistol. For some reason he's got a real "Durka-durka" look to him.

I got the price list from S&S last year when I was looking at 28mm vehicles. In 20mm, they're listing different models of Technical at £7.50-£9.50, a BMP-1 as £10 and the biggest AFVs at £11-13. The price list was from about this time last year, so it's possible they may have gone up. Not too bad, but in 20mm kits and/or converted toys would work out a lot cheaper.

Thanks both! The quality is good but to get started I may go for a cheaper option...if it becomes a passion then the vehicles will be on my wish list. It seems strange for a website not to have prices on it....sort of defeats the object??
